Finance is about money and investments. People on their own and in partnerships, companies and other entities (including state and federal governments), have a common objective of profitable investment. What is a government-secured bond? What is a share? What are the reasons for investing in either'and when is the right time? These are some of the questions answered in the domain of finance. After a common first year in business you will specialise in finance from your second year. The course is both rigorous and practical, with an emphasis on applications and real-world financial management. Careers include finance manager, management reporting manager, equity trade analyst, investment operations analyst: and venture capitalist. You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned up to that point in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship that provides work-integrated learning. What you will study: You will learn the theoretical knowledge and tools demanded by employers in all sections of the world economy: investment, financial markets, financial modelling and portfolio analysis. You will learn advanced statistical techniques for analysis, including the classical linear regression model, model diagnostics, univariate time series modelling and forecasting. You will explore corporate finance, including financial strategies, security analysis and portfolio management.
